If everybody pretends they are the Seer, this advice is drowned
It's not so much that everyone is going to be acting like the seer, but that everyone will be making a guilty or innocent declaration at the beginning of each day. After a villager makes his declaration, it is entirely up to him whether or not to follow it up the rest of the day with accusations.

In other words, I could start off tomorrow by saying "I dreamed that Mormegil was a wolf", but then proceed to spend most of my efforts attacking Saucy and actually vote for him. On the other hand, I could go after Mormegil full force as if I knew I was correct. You see, there are still ways for a seer to stand a bit apart.

But you are right that the plan works the best when the seer is killed. This makes it so that if the werewolves think they know who the seer is, they might gamble on keeping him alive so as not to kill themselves. But if the werewolves correctly identify the seer, it is completely possible that a couple of us villagers will as well and will then follow the seer even before his death.

Obviously it isn't flawless and with bad luck it could really hurt us, but hey- I can't see why we can't give it a shot.
